And he starts to think. Then hetakes the picture with his sheep. And he looks at his sheep.

But I want to know more. So I ask again, “Where is your planet? Where do you want to take your sheep?”

He isquiet. Then he says, “The box is a good thing. At night, I can use the box as a house for the sheep.”

“Yes. And I can also give you arope. Then you can tie the sheep during the day.”

But the little prince isshocked when I say this, “Tie the sheep? It is a funny idea!”

“But if you don’t tie the sheep, thesheep can run away. You can lose the sheep.”

The little prince starts to laugh again.

“But where can the sheep go?”

“It can go tomany places. It can go left. It can go right.”

The little prince says, “The sheep can go away on my planet. It is OK. Where I live, everything is so small.” He isa little sad. Then he says, “Where I live, nobody can go very far.”

Now I know a secondimportant thing. The planet of the little prince is very small. It is like a house.

But it isn’t really a bigsurprise. I know that we don’t have only big planets like Earth, Mars or Jupiter. We have also hundreds of other planets. These planet are sometimes very small. If you want to see these planets, you need a very good telescope.

When anastronomer discovers such a planet, he doesn’t give the planet a name. He gives the planet only a number. The name of the planet is, for example, Asteroid 3251.
